POA Atlanta Area Meetup

I will probably get there early because I need to leave by 1:30. If anyone wants to ride over from RYY with me, I'll be wheels up around 11:00.
 
Seats available from 9A1 Covington around noon. Last hanger on west end of taxiway.
Oh, and I've got a friend joining us too (he's driving)...ex USAF fighter pilot...retired Delta captain...and overall nice guy

OK, lemme do this before I forget. We had a great lunch socializing and swapping stories. Lance was right - his friend Dave was an overall nice guy!

Pic 1: (L-R) Lance's friend Dave, Dave T, Jeremy, Randy's wife Barbara, Randy, (the other) Rich, Lance F, and my friend Steven.

Pic 2: Nigerian G-2 on the ramp. Mysterious stories about it being impounded.

Pic 3: That tail is waaaay up there.

Pic 4: On the nose...


Rich, we need to chat about a more wide-angle lens for my 60D! I was halfway across the restaurant to get the whole group in the picture! :D

0.9 on the Mooney Hobbs meter for a most enjoyable event. I'm sure we'll do t again. Beautiful day here in Atlanta too

I think the Gulfstream was impounded to pay off all of Americans that responded to the emails! :D

Had a great time with everyone and listening to Dave and Lance tell some racing stories.
 
Sorry I couldn't make it up there - ended up going to look at houses with my wife. Looks like a good turnout from the ATL group. Hope to make the next one.

We missed you. Sounds like you're planning on hanging around Jawjuh. :D
 
Nice to meet you all. Sorry I had to eat and run. Let's do it again soon. You guys reminded me I need to update my avatar. Not only don't I fly that plane anymore, that little girl isn't as easy to pick up! She's almost nine now.

Only .8 on the Cessna from RYY. That's the difference between renting and owning. :D

Hmmm, wait a sec. Airnav says it's 31.6 nm LZU <-> RYY, but only 21.5 between LZU and 9A1. The wind was out of the east, so Dave must've had a tailwind in his 172, but still.... I thought Mooney's were fast Lance. :confused:

Or did you take the long way around the Bravo? :rofl:

LZU was busier than Hartsfield when I tried to leave. Had to wait for at least 5 arrivals with the meter running before I could get going. I'll race a 172 any day. :D
 
I admit it was a fluke. The fact that the winds were out of the east alllowed me to avoid long taxis at both airports and I was number one for depature both times.

That said, I still kicked the Mooneys a$$! :D
